A robust understanding of cargo, rustc, and the most popular packages for systems programming is expected.<p>Minimum soft skills: the ability to express yourself clearly in writing and verbally. The ability to plan, track, document, and execute on tasks with minimal supervision.<p>Bonus skills: build systems (make, cmake, bazel), scripting in Python.

text: REMOTE OR AUSTIN | FULL STACK<p>We sell to prompt engineers, starting out with GPT-3 developers looking to build knowledgable bots. We are pre-seed. POC is complete. Angel fundraise may be in progress, but not closed.<p>We (myself and one other dev) are looking for an individual who has experience with Python, JavaScript, AppEngine, Google Cloud, search (Solr&#x2F;Elasticsearch), time-series data, Selenium, crawling, building APIs and various machine learning model use (or MLOps). It would be nice to have experience in training models, but it&#x27;s not required.<p>You would work on an ML pipeline for documents plus a reporting function for devs to see how well GPT-3 is reacting to prompts sent from lookups to a search engine. The system is already crawling, extracting text and labels, indexing, and doing summaries from GPT-3. UI framework is nearly complete.<p>Reference: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openreview.net&#x2F;pdf?id=Bx-fUfKedZ5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openreview.net&#x2F;pdf?id=Bx-fUfKedZ5</a><p>Founder&#x27;s LinkedIn: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;kordless" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;kordless</a><p>Website (in progress): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mitta.us&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mitta.us&#x2F;</a><p>A demo of the software is available by request.<p>Again, we are PRE SEED. Some time will pass before we are funded, if at all. We are not asking for free or non-compensated work. Just practicing trying to find talent here and maybe engage with someone who will have time to work on this later, when the company is funded. We do ask for some of your time for starting a conversation.

text: Remote, contract work<p>I&#x27;m looking for a cryptographer to help design a protocol, and either write or audit security-sensitive code. We are <i>not</i> a &quot;crypto&quot; company in the web3 sense of the term.<p>We allow users to encrypt their data (not quite E2E) using their own passwords&#x2F;keys, which makes certain features difficult to implement. We are therefore aiming to change the encryption scheme, and want to ensure we do this right.<p>When responding please include which AES mode you&#x27;d use for authenticated encryption.<p>Contact: hn@inc-query.com
